Image shown for entry if relevant and present

A pit in the ground, up to 1.3 metres in depth, which is filled with a mixture of straw, soil and peat-free compost, and which is turfed over. It is used where pesticides are to be handled and mixed and where there is the potential for drips and splashes. For greater flexibility, most bio beds will be lined. This is called a Lined Bio-bed.
